Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (3-ounce) tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon canola or peanut oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 thin slices lemon, for garnish
- 3 tablespoons roasted, salted shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Directions
Place flour in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and season with salt and pepper. Dredge fillets in flour mixture or add to bag, close, and shake to coat.
Place 1 tablespoon of the butter and oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it foams, lower heat to medium-low. Shake excess flour off 2 of the fillets, add to pan, and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Remove fillets to a plate and repeat with remaining fillets.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook until it begins to brown. Immediately remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and pour over fish. Lay a lemon slice over each fillet, sprinkle pistachios over top and serve with mashed or roasted potatoes and a simple green salad.

Tilapia came out great. My fiancé asked me to make tilapia like this every time I make it. I did have to use a little more butter than recipe stated to use.
